“Ms. Rita did an excellent job taking care of my dog, Orbit! She made sure he was well cared for while I was away. I appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing Orbit was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Ms. Rita again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Thank you, Amy! Our Bella was well cared for with Amy. Although Bella took a while to adjust, I knew Amy would love on her and give her all the hugs 🥰. Amy was in constant contact with us, and that really put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Amy!”
“A sweet couple who loves their pups and did a great job tending to our Sandy while we were out for a week. They kept us informed and sent pictures regularly. We had much peace of mind. We will use again for sure.”
About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for over 10 years and have looked after my own cats for over 26 years. Many, many cats. If my cat Joy who is 21 could give me a reference, she would.... I hope. She is a cat after all. Don't hold my cats against me! I do love dogs. I have to feng shui my cats with dog walking and caring for dogs. I have and do volunteer at rescue groups. Big Sky/Cat Nip Foundation in Folsom, LA is where I have been volunteering recently. I love them! We meet through Sylvester. He needed a home and I took him home. He's a peach! I have lots of time to tend to peoples pets as well as my own. If there are any details that need sharing about your pets, I want to know! My aim is to make your pets as comfortable as possible and you as well. I do not offer doggy day care or boarding. My lease does not allow me. Also, my cats would be very displeased with me. I can transport to and from doggy day care, vets, etc. I occasionally do sleepovers. Mostly dog walking, cat, pet and house sitting. PLEASE ASK about my RATES if you have many pets like I do. I will adjust accordingly. I have a diabetic cat that I give insulin shots to twice daily. Otherwise, thr care of my cats operates around Sylvester’s shots. I try to schedule around his shots. He’s a good cat! He’s named after Sly Stallone, not Sylvester the cat. I do not offer this service. Please do not inquire. Rover is forcing me to answer this question. I will not ever offer Nordic g or doggy day care out of my home as the house isn’t mine and my cats have priority.
“Elizabeth and her family were very kind and welcoming to our dog, who is usually very nervous about being left - but not in this case! She seemed very happy when I picked her up. I will be happy to use Elizabeth again to watch my dog. Thanks, Elizabeth!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life on a farm with multiple different animals( at one point I even had a pet opossum). I’m used to having 6 dogs in the house with me and I’m super homesick and miss them! I have one dog here. She’s a border collie named Eloise and she’s very friendly and loves all other animals. I would love to care for your animals too! I spend a lot of time with Eloise taking her to the dog park, watching movies, and doing other activities and would be happy to add a few more to the party. I have experience with almost every dog breed and love them all, especially the quirky ones. I work weekends but am available Monday through Thursday. I can also do pickups and am comfortable with animals in the car. I can do early morning walks or runs on the weekends though. In my house the animals are my equals and my friends. I feed them first, they are allowed on the furniture, and i genuinely want them to be as comfortable and happy as i can make them. I have a fenced in backyard and front yard. I also like to go for runs in the morning so I would be happy to provide them with as much or as little exercise as they prefer.
About: I’ve had 11 pets in my lifetime! Two of my cats lived to be 24!, so they were definitely spoiled. I currently have a puppy that is a lab and pit bull mix and man is he wild. I have taken care of animals most of my life (even pregnant dogs) and I treat each one as my own. I have taken care of my friends fur babies for over 4 years and I’d be happy to take care of yours as well! I’m a college student finishing my degree, and I’m only in class for about an hour a day, so I’m home most of the time! My schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first! I have two friendly miniature dachshunds of my own, so I’m very used to keeping a close eye on pets and following their normal routines. I’m happy to accommodate crates, feeding schedules, medications, special instructions, or anything else that helps your pet feel at home.
About: I’ve been responsible for different breeds for over three decades. Friends and love ones have depended on me to walk and feed their fur babies. I’m currently working full time from home. I’m flexible, dependable, and reliable. I’m here to make your life easier. I’m able to walk, feed, and board. I have a fenced yard. Taken several precautions to ensure pets are secured, loved, and protected. Cameras are on the outside of home. Footage is stored for 30 days.
About: Because of my loving concern that I have for my very own dog, it really makes me one of the perfect candidates. I love my 🐕 he's rotten to the core. I am currently working a very stressful schedule which does not allow me the time that I would seriously love to have to spend with more or to care for that of others. You have to pay serious attention to details and not take everything to seriously dogs are our companions. Treat me just a such, because they deserve it

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Pocahontas can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pocahontas home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Pocahontas.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pocahontas. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Pocahontas sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
